More about the City
Richmond, BC is a highly desirable place to live, offering a unique blend of vibrant urban living, world-class culinary experiences, and exceptional natural beauty. Located just south of Vancouver on Lulu Island, it is a culturally diverse community known for its safety, convenience, and high quality of life.
It offers the sense of a smaller community within minutes of one of the world's best known cities. The airport is steps away and downtown Vancouver is only 15 minutes via the Canada Line skytrain.
The Country Club is located in south Richmond near the Steveston Village, a historic, picturesque seaside neighborhood known for its rich maritime heritage, active fishing fleet, and charming small-town atmosphere. Founded in the 1880s, it was once known as the "salmon capital of the world" and has successfully preserved its old-world coastal character, making it one of the most popular day-trip destinations in Metro Vancouver.
Richmond alone has close to 250,000 residents and offers all of the amenities that anyone would need including world class dining options. While Richmond is still an expensive real estate market relative to the rest of Canada, it offers noticeable savings when compared directly to Vancouver—especially when looking at housing, groceries, and dining out.
The Club
The Club was founded on the principle that no member would be denied admission because of their race, colour or creed. While having undergone many transformations since the founding of 1958, the spirit of inclusion remains a core value.
The Club is unique among Lower Mainland golf and athletic clubs – the only one to offer golf, tennis, aquatics, athletics and social programming for families and members of all ages.
The clubhouse features updated restaurants, an outdoor patio and dining facility, a well-equipped fitness and yoga studio, pickleball/badminton courts, an expansive heated pool, and separate lounges for adults and children. They have recently invested more than $2-million to improve the golf course and provide eight year-round tennis courts.
The 6800 yard, par 72 A.V. Macan designed course is one of BC’s premiere golf venues. It is known for its
tree lined fairways, well-positioned bunkers, and its signature raised, undulating greens.
